Is this guy promoting something that is wrong?
Okay, below I copied an exerpt from a training page of a clickbank vendor for affiliates on how to be successfull with adwords. He is discussing using a domain redirect, which I believe is against google policy. Is his method kosher or not?

"Then after you buy your new domain, you go into "domain forwarding" and you forward your domain to your clickbank hoplink (you can still use the tracking id's with this also if you buy more than one domain to use for forwarding). Important - If you're going to use this for PPC, you must also enable "masking" which basically makes your new domain URL keep displaying even after the domain has already been forwarded to the hoplink.
Now you can run your ads directly through this new masked domain (you can set the display URL and destination URL as the exact same thing now), and this will allow your ads to show up on search listings as well as adsense pages right next to my ads or another affiliate's ads. This will greatly increase your exposure and get you more clicks than if you just tried to direct link through a hoplink. Note: If you only fwd your domain but don't "mask" it, your ad will get shut down by google because your display and destination URLs don't match. So you need to mask it also.Then after you buy your new domain, you go into "domain forwarding" and you forward your domain to your clickbank hoplink (you can still use the tracking id's with this also if you buy more than one domain to use for forwarding).
